Indeed. I always wonder what it is that drives origination sales in obscure jurisdictions with low population density or incredibly small surface area; that is to say, who wants DIDs there? Aside from local VoIP users, I cannot think of too many reasons why everyone else would snap up Isle of Man numbers. This issue also comes up with small operators in bizarre rural territories in the US who are sitting on a substantial surplus of number inventory and expect to make a killing on access charges selling those DIDs in the VoIP world. It often does not occur to them that maybe the world is not banging down the doors, eagerly salivating over PSTN numbers in Musselshell, Montana, and the only way they can increase origination business is to artificially drive traffic there by playing games with conference services and other well-known circuses. -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 1170 Peachtree Street 12th Floor, Suite 1200 Atlanta, GA 30309 Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Fax: +1-404-961-1892 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/ -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
